Aye.

I think that might be the most forgettable season Hibs have had in recent times. Aside from the February where we won a few on the bounce could barely tell you a thing that happened.

All very Ed de Graaf.

Great posts every day. According to Peter Cormack's book "From the cowshed to the Kop", Peter scored 100 goals for Hibs. 99 goals in his first 8 year stint and 1 goal in his second stint.

I remember it well but only because I gave up my ST in March. Although I quickly discovered sitting in the house was even worse than watching Calderwood's Hibs and was back after a 3 game absence. Grim times!
